Workplace Wellness – Why Good Health is Good Business

Dynamic employers have learned that when employees suffer from common conditions such as back pain, headaches or burnout – it is to be taken seriously. That’s because research has shown that employee physical discomfort due to minor ailments costs an annual US$80 billion in lost productivity in the US alone.

This is largely invisible to employers because it occurs not when workers take sick days but rather when they are on the job and too ineffective to perform adequately. A majority of costs created by unhealthy employees are a consequence of lifestyle factors such as lack of fitness, poor dietary habits or inadequate stress management.

Discerning employers have recognized that poor employee health due to negative lifestyle habits impacts the most valuable resource of the organization – the effectiveness and performance of their human capital. Dynamic corporations therefore invest in their employees’ health & morale through corporate wellness programs, as they know that a healthy workforce is the most valuable economic asset.

An Apple a Day supports employee health through a series of corporate workshops tailored specifically to companies in Singapore. Topics covered include healthy eating, stress management and physical fitness, featuring expert speakers that share their wealth of experience through interactive seminars.
